Forums - Gaming - Assassin's Creed III reviews in - no GOTY material here

Like stated. I am so hyped for this game, but it will not reach the calibre that we expect it to. Its lucky to achieve 90 Meta. My guess is 87-89. Its just a hunch I have. We shall see soon enough!

The draw distance does seem to suck a bit.

The need for next gen hardware made reasonable.

You forgot the most famous review of Meristation. Assassin's Creed 1 - 9.6/10

Assassin's Creed 3 has received 8.3/10 in 360 and 8.5/10 in PS3.

Why is the 360 version lower ? :c

probably because of the  missing content but not 100% sure


THIS.

More content on PS3 should automatically give it a higher score. It's just common sense. Not only that, but they mention that the PS3 version has less problems.

I just hope that websites like IGN don't receive the PS3 version, play it and give an identical score to the 360 version. I know they will though so I won't stress about it. Lazy journalism is to be expected.



Some of these screenshots make me long for a new, proper Prince of Persia game.

I'm still kinda meh about Assassin's Creed. I should probably give 2 another shot.



Where the heck are the reviews? I thought the 360 version would have at least 40 reviews on Metacritic by now. Dishonored had more than that on the day before its release.

Both versions are identical. Any problems are miniscule. If anything, the exclusive content should get its own seperate review.

Dont act like its a one way street, many multiplats have the PS3 version  with an identical score when it had more issues over 360.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Just occurred to me this will most likely be the first ac game I purchase day one (with the others i have waited til they made it to bargain bin! No disrespect to the series meant by that remark, it was just the way it turned out)...
wont even wait for the wii u version even though i usually would do something like that (then again, I probably should...but i'll be overseas when the wii u version is released so it has more to do with timing)
Actually way more excited than I thought i'd be for this game!!!


Same here, played the original one when it first came out, hated it. Played a little of two, thought it was much better. THe only reason why i boughgt Brotherhood is cause Target had it new for 30 bucks, figured id dive in. Loved it, character MP, all of it. Got Revelations discounted, and i bought Bloodlines of PSN for 20 bucks. I wont be getting AC3 or liberation day 1 due to the storm, but will get both witing a week of each other.

That's not true though...The exclusive content is there, and it should be included in the review. 


Yes I'm going to agree with this.  Anything included in day 1 release should be reviewed.  Yes both of them look exactly the same but the for multiplatform users you're going to want to get the game with the most content.

There's a review embargo:

Oct. 30

  • 9am (PT)
  • 5pm (GMT)
  • 11pm (Sydney)


Thanks! I thought the embargo was already lifted when I saw those two reviews. So... tomorrow.

Curious about this game, as since a long time ago, I thought this will be highest rated game of the year... now I'm not so sure.



I'm more concerned with Liberation on the VIta. Is it good?
